St. Paul river scene, circa 1940s

St. Paul's Kellogg Boulevard doesn't look much different today from this old postcard scene. The message on the back, from someone named Mabel to "Mrs. Serine Kulseth, Eagle Lake, Robbinsdale, Minnesota" (Hart's mother?) is almost illegible, but we can make out this line: "I am waiting at the corner drugstore whilst husband has X-ray of his stomach at the hospital. Hope you will be able to walk again soon." Sounds like they were all feeling a little poorly.
